Overtaking is a common behavior while driving, but it is not possible in all situations. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, the following are some situations in which overtaking is not allowed:
1.The car in front is making a left turn, making a U-turn, or overtaking. In this case, if you force overtaking, it may lead to a traffic accident as the vehicle in front may not be able to avoid or take the necessary measures in time.
2.There is a possibility of meeting with the oncoming car from the opposite side. If you overtake a vehicle at the time of a meeting, it may cause the vehicle to collide or scrape because the trajectory of the oncoming vehicle may change.
3.The vehicle in front is a police car, fire truck, ambulance, or engineering rescue vehicle performing emergency tasks. These vehicles have the right of way when performing emergency tasks, and if overtaking at this time, it may affect the completion of the task and even cause serious consequences.
4.There are no overtaking conditions when passing through railway crossings, intersections, narrow bridges, curves, steep slopes, tunnels, pedestrian crossings, and sections with large traffic flow in urban areas. Overtaking on these sections of the road may lead to traffic accidents due to poor visibility, heavy traffic flow, etc.
The above are several situations in which overtaking is not allowed according to the provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law, and we should strictly abide by these regulations in the process of driving to ensure driving safety. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the surrounding traffic conditions when overtaking to ensure your own safety and the safety of the vehicle in front.
